The last European dictator might consider watching his words the next
time he demands something from his constituents before massive hilarity
ensues – like what happened in Belarus.

In a nutshell, its citizens took great fun in mocking their
president’s authority and verbal slip by going to work stark naked and
proud.

Alexander Lukashenko, Belarus’ current president and nicknamed as
Europe’s last dictator, made a speech last week that encouraged
Belarusians to think up innovative ideas that would help them make it
through the economic crisis.

At the summit in Minsk, the dictator
announced: “We must get undressed and work.”

Perhaps he meant to say something else, which is a very likely scenario.
Lukashenko probably meant that they needed to “develop and work”, not
“undress and work” – these two phrases sound almost the same in Russian.

Regardless, the good people of Belrus decided to have a bit of fun and
started following their leader’s words. They took to social media
platforms such as Instagram and Twitter to post pictures of themselves
in various states of undress while working.
